36 <para>
37 The <function>sg_get_fs_stats</function> takes a pointer to an
38 int, <parameter>entries</parameter>, which is filled with the
39 number of mounted file systems the machine has. The return
40 value is a pointer to the first member of an array of
41 <structname>sg_fs_stats</structname> structures; the number of
42 entries in the array is returned in <parameter>entries</parameter>.
43 </para>
44 <para>
45 The function returns statistics about mounted filesystems,
46 including free space and inode usage.
